Elm Tree Road

After being driven from home by their brutal father, the Willett sisters find themselves facing greater heartache in the wider world. Nell, the middle daughter, has left home to be with her lover, Cliff, fearing what reprisals might come from marrying against her fathers wishes. The couple head for Lancashire, but Nells happiness is short-lived. A gypsy palm-reader tells her she will still find her destiny, under three big trees on a hill and her luck does seem to change when she meets Hugh, and farmer and a gentleman who she cant help but feel drawn to. Could the trees on his land be a sign, or will Nell be too damaged by her past to let herself love again?
